Paradigm Robotics is an Austin, Texas based robotics startup building rugged, scalable robots for situational awareness in hazardous environments. We serve firefighting, emergency response, public safety, oil & gas, defense, and industrial markets. Our mission is to create a new paradigm of scalable, reliable, and useful robots for real-world hazardous operations - providing critical solutions to the most dangerous problems out there.
We've raised an oversubscribed round from top-tier venture firms. We’re working directly with over 80 of the largest fire departments, law enforcement agencies, industrial teams, and military units across the U.S., including the Air Force, Army, and SERDP. Our robots are built with and for firefighters, first responders, warfighters, and emergency crews.
We are solving problems that matter. Building robots that operate in fire, heat, debris, water, and chaos is incredibly hard, and building them to scale is even harder. That is why we focus on engineering rigor, rapid iteration, and deep user feedback. We ship real robots into real fires for real customers, which means everyone on the team takes ownership, talks to users, and builds.
We value curiosity, autonomy, and low-ego collaboration, and we celebrate wins while owning mistakes. At the same time, we know how to have fun. From stargazing trips, go-kart races, and off-sites to Tulum, to goldfish pranks that turned into a full aquarium, we work hard and enjoy the ride together. This is a place where you can do your best work, learn a ton, build cool things, and make lifelong friends.
Electrical Engineer
Full-Time
Start Fall 2025
As an Electrical Engineer, you’ll design and build the electrical backbone of our robots. You'll be responsible for analog and digital circuits, robot bus and wiring design, embedded systems, power distribution, and sensor integration. You’ll work across schematic design, PCB layout, bring-up, embedded debug, and wiring harness development.
This role is hands-on. You’ll be soldering boards, assembling cable harnesses, troubleshooting in the lab and field, and supporting the system through thermal, EMI, and vibration tests. You'll work closely with the mechanical and software teams and own your systems from prototype to field deployment.
We expect you to take initiative, care about details, and own the performance of your systems. You’ll have the autonomy to make high-impact decisions and the responsibility to see them through.
